He figured if they could do it, so could he," Garrett's distraught mother, Carolyn Stellar, told the Daily News yesterday.

Oh, c'mon, lady. I remember reading stories about you back then and how you let your son, barely a teenager, shack up with Telly Sevalas' barely teenage daughter right in your home, all the while they partied under your nose and you thought it was cute.
Garrett is responsible for his own behavior, but I don't think his mama helped him much.

Me too! Except when Leif was on it. Never thought he was attractive and I never knew why he kept bumping Donny off the cover. Hrmpf!

No I don't and I wonder why? I googled them, and I'm surprised.
But I forgot to add Andy Gibb and Rex Smith.

Teri? Is that you? My best friend from Junior High? Did you have a shrine to Donny inside your closet, too? ;)
